I was thinking the other day about how great it is -- how thankful I am -- that anyone out there still comes by here to see if I've got anything to say, even if those people are actually Google's spiders or who knows what. And it got me to thinking...
I've expressed here more than once my general admiration for a blog that doesn't exist anymore called Best Sentence of the Day. This woman posted a sentence a day as she wrote her dissertation and it struck me that this probably is a good time to start sharing my brilliant sentence writing with you. I can't imagine that sentences will be the only thing I'll post (and, let's be honest, I won't be posting every day, but I'll try for the days on which I write), but doing this definitely will mean that I'll have no excuse for lack of material, right? I'll try to at least make the sentences interesting (if not totally obtuse and ridiculously academic sounding).
And so, well, here I am in the middle of trying to finish Draft Three of my dissertation proposal, tentatively titled Immediate Mediation: A Narrative of the Newsreel and the Film, and I bring you today's gem, simple and to the point:
The images stand as records of time in motion far more than as formal capturing of events.
